  • “Claire is an inspirational leader with innate creative instincts; that when coupled with her deep experience bank on all things brand strategy, consumer insights, and brand marketing, it makes Claire a unicorn that is able to zoom out and think brand strategy, and zoom in with a tactical doer-approach and action-orientated mindset”

  • “Claire stepped in to develop the vision and strategy for a new program idea. She took a measured and pragmatic approach, helping us pressure-test our ‘why’ and ‘what’s different’ in light of previous explorations, and was instrumental in shaping a bigger vision that aligned with our brand objectives while also crafting a clear, compelling approach that engaged stakeholders and executive leadership.

    She set us up with a strategy that not only inspired but also provided a structured path for experimentation and iteration as we gathered insights and refined our approach for the program.”

    — Nik Dhodi, VP, Global Channel Development, Starbucks
